What you should install:
- at least the netCDF C library, which also includes several command-line
utility programs, such as ncdump, which reads netCDF and writes a text
form of the data. You'll have to decide whether you can get by with
just accessing netCDF classic format supported in netCDF-3, or whether
you need capabilities only available in netCDF-4, such as data compression,
chunking, parallel I/O. It may help to look at this part of the netCDF
FAQ:

- Maybe the netCDF-C++ library, which is a thin layer on top of the netCDF
C library that makes some things simpler. You'll have to decide whether
the legacy netCDF C++ library, supporting netCDF-3, is adequate, or whether
you need the newer and less well-tested netcdf-4 C++ API.
- You can install the library anywhere you want, but the default is to install
in the lib, include, share, and bin subdirectories of /usr/local.
Instructions for getting and building the libraries are here:
